“I will do my utmost to represent my new team to the best of my abilities and to make our supporters proud.”

He also thanked Nice for the opportunity given to him.

“Finally, I would like to thank OGC Nice, who helped me get back to enjoying my football again and gave me another chance to show French fans what I am capable of on the pitch.”
